I am having 2 problems that are getting so frustrating! 😕mileymad:First, I have turned my game on (a couple of times) to continue a saved game, but when the main menu pops up my saved game is gone. The only option is to start a new game. So, I started a new game (a couple of times) and when I try to send my sims to the University..... My game keeps crashing while it's loading the University city..... The screen goes black and the computer goes back to my desktop. Second, When the game was playing... I kept getting a Save Error 12 (or something like that) every now and then when I tried to save. So, I was constantly saving the game.CONSTANTLY!!!! LOLI use "Save As" instead of "Save"I save at all different speedsI don't keep a lot of things in my sims personal inventoryI've tried going into the "Saves" folder in "My Document / Electronic Arts" and copying and renaming the subfolder so it no longer has ".bad" in the title. I don't know what I'm doing wrong??? 😕mileysad:Please help!!!

Find all info on Error 12 here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Save-Errors-Error-12-13-15-16/td-p/652XP is a 32 bit system (for most users anyways) so it can only use 2 GB of RAM which can run out very fast.Also your graphic card seems to have troubles with the newer expansion (source: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements). Try lowering the graphic setting and turn of mirror reflections. Also check for updated drivers.

Don't remove the bad. They are just that, bad. They can't be used anymore. You need to delete those.
Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

Find all info on Error 12 here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Save-Errors-Error-12-13-15-16/td-p/652
XP is a 32 bit system (for most users anyways) so it can only use 2 GB of RAM which can run out very fast.
Also your graphic card seems to have troubles with the newer expansion (source: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements). Try lowering the graphic setting and turn of mirror reflections. Also check for updated drivers.
